Abstract:A HIGH ACCURACY A/D converter that can be integrated into one monolithic chip has been devised. Utilized is a VCO phaselocked to a submultiple, M, of the system clock frequency, F , to convert the input/reference voltage ratio into a variable duty cycle, D, pulse waveform. D is measured using a counter and the clock. Accuracy depends upon the ratio of two resistors and resolution upon M. The system differs from other A/D converters utilizin VCOs in that no other active analog devices are r e q~i r e d~" " '~. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
